| OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc. | We obtained cross-sectional data from mothers and stool samples of their children aged 13–21 months
using the first wave of the longitudinal RomaREACH study. A total of 181 stools from infants were analysed: 105
infants from the Slovak majority population and 76 from MRCs.
Results Infants from MRCs are significantly more often infected by Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Giardia
duodenalis than their better-off peers from the majority population. Infection rates are 30% in infants from MRCs
vs. 0% in the majority population (p < 0.001). Single and mixed infections were observed in children from MRCs.
Infants with intestinal parasitic infections suffer significantly more often from various health complaints, particularly
cough, stomach ache, irritability, and diarrhoea. Within MRCs, the risk of parasitic infections in infants is significantly
increased by risk factors such as the absence of flushing toilets in households (OR = 4.17, p < 0.05) and contact with
un-dewormed animals (OR = 3.61, p < 0.05). Together with the absence of running water in the household, these three
factors combined increase the risk more than ten times (p < 0.01). |

| OCA16. Annotation of the output in English | Intestinal parasitic infections remain a significant global health issue, particularly affecting poor and marginalised populations. These infections significantly contribute to children’s diseases, malnutrition, poor school performance, cognitive disorders, and future economic losses. This study aimed to explore and compare the occurrence of intestinal parasites in early childhood among the group of infants from the Slovak majority population and from marginalised Roma communities (MRCs). Furthermore, it aimed to explore the health complaints of children with and without intestinal parasitic infection in the past month and assess the effect of various risk factors on the occurrence of intestinal parasitic infection in infants from MRCs. |

| OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process | The results of this study and related activities have a significant impact on the educational process in the field of human as well as veterinary medicine and parasitology. They provide valuable material for expanding knowledge about zoonotic diseases and parasitic infections that can be transmitted between animals and humans. The findings offer practical information on the effectiveness of various antiparasitic therapies, which is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment of these diseases in clinical practice. The data obtained can be used as a foundation for educational materials, lectures, and seminars that cover not only theoretical knowledge about zoonoses but also practical aspects of diagnosing and treating parasitic diseases. The study also highlights the importance of accurate parasitological examination and communication between veterinarians and pet owners, which is crucial for preventing misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. |
